Chaitali Galakhe(25) who demanded a toilet from her
parents instead of jewellery as a wedding gift, will receive a cash
reward of Rs 10 lakh from sanitation NGO Sulabh International.
Enthused by Prime Minister
Narendra Modi’s call for a ‘Swachh Bharat’, the woman from
Maharashtra’s Akola district insisted that a toilet should be built at
the house, saying basic sanitation needs to be given importance instead
of jewellery and other wedding gifts
Lauding the
rural woman’s move, Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak — a social activist and the
mentor of Sulabh International — said it is an impact of Prime Minister
Narendra Modi’s Clean India campaign that has created awareness about
sanitation.
Dr. Pathak said Galakhe will be conferred with the Sulabh Sanitation Award and a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh soon.
“It is an achievement of the Modi government which is completing a year in office,” he said
